3x01 Old Friends

A classic sitcom from the 80s/early 90s that, unfortunately, not enough of our generation have seen. It stars Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty as four mature ladies living in Miami. They constantly roast each other but, in typical sitcom style, constantly show each other how much they care for each other.

Quite ground-breaking for its time, it touched on issues that fewer other sitcoms did. These included addiction, HIV, homosexuality and menopause, to name a few. It tackled all these subjects and more in a sensitive yet hilarious fashion, and the writing featured was always second to none. Even though the plots may have gone a little wild sometimes, the one-liners and their delivery by the leading ladies was nothing short of hysterical.

So, I have listed what I believe are the ten best episodes of the show. There are 180 to choose from, so it was a pretty tough list, and I'm sure I've missed off some absolute corkers. Nonetheless, they're all fantastic in their own way, and they show just how cool growing older can be, and how funny too.
